We had some very special visitors last Friday night, Randy and Theresa and Theresa’s parents from Taber, Alberta. In the afternoon we took a quick tour about Lexington and Buena Vista (Stonewall Jackson stood straight and tall and never once glanced toward the grave of his first wife- maybe I needed Ben, Matt and Addy to turn his head.) and then on to Captain Tim's for supper. The food (love those hush puppies) was good and the conversation great. That evening we attended the SVU production of "Travels with my Aunt." If you have never seen this play - prepare yourself for something completely different. There are 6 actors who play some 20 plus roles. But that's only the start, sometimes the same actor played two different parts - switching characters mid speech; on the other hand, at one point three actors play the same character - each giving part of the same speech -interrupting each other in the process. It is a comedy/mystery piece that requires one's full attention just to keep the cast straight - it reminds me of the ballpark vendor's sales pitch - "Scorecard, scorecard - get your scorecard - you can't tell the players without a scorecard!" The evening was fun, and most of all we enjoyed getting caught up on all the doings of Southern Alberta (did you know there is an election going on in Alberta even as we speak?). We wish the Valgardsons an enjoyable and informative Virginia visit. Thanks to various family members for the valentine cards and e-mails. It is always fun to get mail.
That's all for this week, but remember each of you are in our prayers.
Love
Elder/Dad/ Grandpa Cottle
